In bug 1468972 we're moving page annotations to be asynchronous. This means that DownloadHistory needs to be updated to better handle the async nature.

To maintain performance of DOM updates, and to avoid potential race conditions, we need to have a cache of the relevant download metadata so that the database updates happen in the background, but we have sync access for updating the UI.

See also bug 1480049 for some discussion.
This avoids the need to do async lookups in the database when updating the UI.
